One of my biggest artistic and musical inspirations, Daniel Johnston, passed away at the age of 58. This is a cover of one of his songs I recorded in 2005.

This song is dedicated to a friend, Ryan Chase, who I haven't heard from in ages. (You'll hear me giving a shout out to him at the end.) Daniel's music was a lot like this, lo-fi, raw, unrehearsed, from the heart.

"Don't let the sun go down on your grievance
Respect love of the heart over lust of the flesh
Do yourself a favor: become your own savior
And don't let the sun go down on your grievances

And when you wake up in the morning
You'll have a brand new feeling
And you'll find yourself healing
So don't let the sun go down on your grievances

And yet if you find yourself in the dark
And you're left holding the bag
Then take care of it right away
And don't let the sun go down on your grievances again

Sometimes you might want to give up
But keep that chin up
'Cause you're gonna find
You're gonna find
Sometimes you might be alone
But don't feel lonely
'Cause you're gonna find
You're gonna find
So don't let the sun go down on your grievances"
